Need A Good Cabinet..

[koolent]

Ok.. Bt If I increase my budget to some 1k more than I can get a Corsair Vengeance and I can also overclock it.. So, what say abt getting GA-G41MT-S2P and a Corsair Vengeance 1 X 4 GB RAM ?

If I can get a USB 3.0 In 5.5k In all then you are welcome.. Bt its nt necessary as I don't want to compromise RAM, Graphics and Processing Speed..

waitin..

^^buddy vengeance is a 1600MHz RAm and that G41MT-S2P mobo(if i am right then all the socket 775mobo) only supports RAM speed up to 1333MHz RAM.it will be just waste of money to buy vengeance as it will run at 1333MHz so there won't be any performance increase over your value RAM except the fancy look.so better buy value RAMs.

 

[koolent]

Okk.. Buddy.. Allright..

Does GA-G41MT-S2P Support USB 3.0 ?

and will upgrading my cabinet to a one with USB 3.0 will Enhance the speeds ?

 

[sukesh1090]

no.that mobo doesn't support USB 3.0.you will see increase in speed if you are using a USB 3.0 supported devices like HDDs,flas drives....about your cabinet,you need to have a usb 3.0 header on your mobo to get the 3.0 port on the cabby working.if you don't have then you end up in leaving it unused.in some cabby the front usb 3.0 is connected to the back usb 3.0 port on the mobo through a wire.in your case mobo doesn't supports both of them.

 

[koolent]

Okk.. So I learnt 1 thng tday.. Intel 775 Socket is really dead.. Well I have to bear it only for 2 yrs..


So, is there any USB 3.0 mobo under my price range ?


Agn I don't want to compromise my Graphics, RAM and CPU overclocking..

 

[topgear]

^^ there's no USB 3.0 mobo for LGA 775 cpu in your price range.

^^no where it is available for 2k bro.in primeabgbg it costs 2650/- + 650 shipment.thats why i bought 400R.received it yesterday it is a treat to work with this cabby.very very good cable management and also very sturdy.even i can sit on it without any problem.

Congrats !

primeabgb has NZXT Source 210 Elite with USB 3.0 port but I was talking about NZXT Source 210 without Elite moniker and USB 3.0 and it's priced $10 lower than the Elite model - can't remember where but I saw it was selling @ 2k around 3 months back.

 

[koolent]

Geee.. All right..

its about $34 on Amazon..

Well, anyways Souurce 210 Elite is $34 on Amazon..

 

[The Sorcerer]

So, I think NZXT Source is a good option bt Im nt in favour of tool-less hard-drive design as I don't mess aroud removing my hard disks.

err what makes you assume that its for people who messes around to begin with? It simply takes out the point that you need a screw driver+ screws to install stuff, nothing more, nothing less.

If you're going to spend on fans eventually, then you're better off using the cash combined and go for something else. CM690II Advance/400R. 400R gets the first preference from my end.

 

[koolent]

OK.. And thank you bro.. I didn't know that the tool less hard drive design was for that.. Well, any ways I will try and compare between Source 210 Elite, and the two you suggested..

Well, I don't use big movies much, so, I can compromise with the USB 3.0 Port..

Only 2 yrs with this rig though.. Then my parents will use it and I'll buy a 80k gaming laptop until I get my Job and I'll buy a 2 lac gaming desktop rig ..


A long long way to go though.

 

[sukesh1090]

^^
its up to you buddy.source 210 elite,400R,690 II are very good cabbies at their price range.btw avoid sms shortcut languages.

 

[koolent]

So, what is the best one? My budget is now 2.3k..

 

[RiGOD]

^^How about the CM Elite 311? Has cable management provision, bottom placed PSU & decent cooling.

 

[koolent]

^^ Not many fan spaces..

 

[RiGOD]

^^What are your prime demands and what are the stuff you can compromise?

 

[The Sorcerer]

I am done with Bitfenix Merc Alpha that costs about 2.5k! Its a pretty good case for what its worth.
